“It was a great way to get an overview of the city. But the microphone really didn’t work so we couldn’t hear our guide well. And the tour made it sound like there would be a break in the gardens and we didn’t take one so it was a longer time than I would have chosen to ride if I had known there wouldn’t be a break.”
